New: Web Search API - Search the web like Claude's built-in tools

Intelligent web access for AI agents

Give your AI agents web search and browsing that gets smarter with every request. Search the web with Brave Search, browse any URL, and extract structured data. Unbrowser learns patterns and speeds up from 5 seconds to 50ms on repeated visits.

Self-Hosted

Unbrowser Local

Full browser engine for MCP servers and local apps. Includes Playwright for complete page rendering.

npx @unbrowser/local Requires Node.js 20+ with Playwright

Server/API icon
Any Language

REST API

Direct HTTP API for Python, Ruby, Go, or any language. Full control over requests.

POST api.unbrowser.ai/v1/browse Works from anywhere

Which should I use?

Unbrowser Cloud for serverless apps (Vercel, Lambda). Your backend makes HTTP calls to our API - we handle rendering.
Unbrowser Local for Claude Desktop, MCP servers, or self-hosted. Full Playwright browser runs locally. Setup Guide
REST API for any language (Python, Ruby, Go). Direct HTTP access with full control over requests.

Gets smarter with every request

Learning-first architecture designed for AI agents that repeatedly visit the same sites

Auto API Discovery

Finds REST endpoints, GraphQL schemas, OpenAPI specs, and WebSocket connections. Uses them directly instead of rendering.

Structured Data Extraction

Auto-extracts JSON-LD, microdata, OpenGraph, and Twitter cards. Detects Next.js, React, Vue, Angular frameworks.

Collective Intelligence

Cloud users share learned patterns. Every successful extraction makes the system smarter for everyone. Local users benefit from bootstrap patterns.

Specialized Site Handlers

Wikipedia, GitHub, npm, PyPI, Stack Overflow, Reddit, Hacker News, YouTube, and more - go straight to each site's official API for instant structured data. No HTML scraping required.

Beyond basic scraping

Enterprise-grade features for complex automation scenarios

Content Change Prediction

Predicts when content will change using calendar triggers (annual January updates), seasonal patterns, and historical analysis. Urgency levels (0-3) help you prioritize freshness checks.

Workflow Recording

Record multi-step workflows during a live browsing session, annotate each step, then replay with different parameters. Learned patterns transfer across similar flows.

Form Automation

Learn form submission patterns (POST, GraphQL mutations, Server Actions) and replay them 10-25x faster.

Content Verification

Built-in assertions validate extracted data. Schema validation, field matching, confidence scoring.

WebSocket & Real-time

Discover WebSocket endpoints, Socket.IO, and SSE streams. Learn message patterns for direct replay.

Rate Limit Learning

Automatically detects rate limits, adapts request timing, and queues requests to stay within quotas.

Geographic Routing

Smart proxy routing based on site requirements. Auto-detect regional restrictions and select optimal locations.

The browser minimizer philosophy

Start with full rendering, progressively eliminate it as we learn

1

First Visit: Learn

Full browser rendering (~2-5s). We analyze structure, discover APIs, learn patterns, and extract structured data.

2

Second Visit: Optimize

Use learned patterns to skip rendering where possible. Try direct API calls. Fall back to browser if needed.

3

Nth Visit: Instant

Direct API calls using cached patterns (~50ms). 10x faster because we learned how the site works.

Built for the ways AI agents actually use the web

Each card names a concrete pain point — pick the one that sounds like your stack

RAG & knowledge-base ingestion

Your RAG pipeline can scrape today's content but tomorrow's Cloudflare update breaks it. Unbrowser handles bot-protection, JS rendering, and structured extraction so your ingestion stays reliable as the open web gets harder. Pair with cron-style refresh and field-level change detection to keep your vector DB current.

Compliance & policy monitoring

Fetch regulations, contracts, benefit schedules, and agency announcements from .gov and regulator sites. Get a diff queue when content changes — not just "page changed," but field-level: "IPREM monthly went from €600 to €620 on 2026-01-01". Pipe straight into a review queue.

Sales & market intelligence

Refresh company profiles weekly from their own websites. Surface "they just announced X" signals without your scraper rotting every quarter. Learned patterns mean a 50–250ms repeat fetch instead of 2–5s of browser automation — and dozens of accounts in seconds instead of hours.

Authenticated content ingestion

Member portals, customer dashboards, internal wikis, paywalled documentation. Pass cookies via session.cookies; we run Playwright when needed and learn the API behind the page for next time. Sessions persist across requests so your agent stays logged in.

Multi-step research workflows

Chain queries: "find IPREM on boe.es, then find the French RSA equivalent." /v1/research combines web search with intelligent browsing and returns structured JSON with citations. Pass an outputSchema and get typed fields out the other side — no LLM glue, no hand-rolled extraction.

Case study — doc-chat Coming soon

AI assistant for union members. Ingests agency benefits pages, surfaces policy diffs to a moderator queue, answers member questions with grounded citations. Full case study writeup in progress.

Why Unbrowser for AI agents?

Built specifically for agents that repeatedly access the same sites

vs Alternative Their Approach Unbrowser's Advantage
Firecrawl / Jina AI Same speed every time We learn and get 10x faster over time
Playwright / Puppeteer Always use browser rendering We auto-discover APIs so you don't need rendering
Browse.ai Point-and-click, limited to specific workflows Programmable via MCP, works with any LLM
Direct API calls Manual reverse engineering required Automatic API discovery on first visit
Traditional scrapers No network effects Collective learning: patterns shared across all users
Claude's WebSearch Returns prose text, no verification Detects source disagreements, returns typed JSON with confidence scores

Real Benchmark: Spain IPREM 2025

Same query, different results. Unbrowser detected that sources actually disagree on the value.

Claude WebSearch
600/month
Single answer, no verification
Unbrowser Research API
57% confidence
Detected disagreement: Sources report 600, 700, and 7200. Manual verification recommended.

The government source (exteriores.gob.es) reports a different value due to new regulation RD 1155/2024. Unbrowser caught this discrepancy - a simple search would have given you the wrong answer.

Simple API, powerful results

import { createUnbrowser } from '@unbrowser/cloud';

const client = createUnbrowser();

// Search the web and extract structured data
const result = await client.research({
  scope: 'Portugal D7 visa income requirements 2025',
  strategy: 'authoritative', // prioritize gov sources
  maxSources: 5
});

// Get citations, confidence scores, and structured data
console.log(result.data);       // extracted facts
console.log(result.sources);    // cited URLs
console.log(result.confidence); // 0.85

// Prediction API - when will content change?
const predictions = await client.getUrgentPredictions(2);
// Returns patterns with urgency 2-3, calendar triggers
